On the 9th July Sydney Social 101 were one of the lucky few that got to attend the closing party for Number56. Sparks flew across the dancefloor as Diesel Darling the angle grinder put on a one-of-a-kind performance at the finale of the current series of Number56.
The nightlife experience, which has been the city’s hottest ticket over recent weeks, offered Sydney-siders an authentic taste of Berlin’s music, art and culture. Taking its name from the 56 unique ingredients used to make Germany’s very own Jägermeister, the series successfully kick started the weekend early on Thursday nights with Berlin DJs Steve Bug, Kill Frenzy, Baron Castle, Christian Vance, Michelle Owen and Claire Morgan at the helm.
Igniting underground sounds in underground places, the biggest celebration to date was curated by the mysterious mindsbehind Salon Zur Wilden Renate and local co-presenters The House of Mince, Something Else and experimental party pleasers Charades.
Roving rebels Betty Grumble, Matt Format and their rotating spectacle of friends took us on another wild journey, inspiring new encounters, strange collisions and euro a go-go splendour that had the dance floor heaving for more. Missy the aerialist had us transfixed as she spiralled through the air while mystical beard meister Mulga produced a live art masterpiece.
Authentic German cocktails were served on the night, including the Jäger-Mate made with Club-Mate and Jägermeister accompanied by delicious Berlin street food. Our favourite drink was the Spice Apple Mule; which included Jägermeister Spice, Cloudy Apple Juice, Bundaberg Ginger Beer and Wedge of squeezed lime.
There were six house rules, a permanent fixture at Number56 is to encourage people to share the experience with their mates wholeheartedly.
- No cameras. No phones.
- Leave your inhibitions at the door.
- No dress code.
- Respect others.
- Be nice to the bartenders.
- What happens at Number56 stays at Number56.
